?The JfarmcvY. department Glorying in the Goad. The above well-known lines form i the text for a delightfully-written es say in the July number of the Atlan tic Monthly, evidently from thp pen of Donald (j. Mitchell, author of My | Farm of Edge/wood, wlio, himself a farmer, is well qualified to write on the subject. There are many things in the essay that are not compliment ary, but they will nevertheless be read with interest, and arc worthy of j thoughtful consideration. It appears from an essay in the Report of the Commissioner 6f Agri-1 culture for 18fi2, written by Dr. W. : W. Hall, that " notwithstanding the I sylvan delights of lawn and bower, | and the exquisite delights of eating your own hams, the largest class of patients in Insane Asylums come j from the 'jolly boys' and their wives | and daughters." \Ve learn also that j in spite of his ample birder, bis free dom from envy and calking care, the farmer does riot live so long as th'- pale clergyman whose white hands he looks upon with only not contempt. * * * Three homes out of four. | according to his writer's estimate, j suffer from the ravages of debt. 11l you do not trust the testimony of I books, but will turn to living inert, you will scarcely fare better. One! man, whose recreation ■ have been rit- j ral, but his business civic, conducts you through his groves and summer- i houses, his stone barns and his lat- j tice cottages, but tempers your en- j thusiasm with the remark, that this j fancy farming is sowing nincpcnees j to reap sixpences. Relinquishing I fancy farms, you goto the practical' man swinging his scythe in his hay field, h : s shirt sleeves rol'ed up above his elbows,and his'trowsers tucked in to his boots. He shows you the face walls and the compost heap, the drains and the resultant hay-cocks, with measurable pride, but tells you at the same time that every dallar he has earned on that farm has eos£ him ! nine shillings. This will never do. A third farmer has inherited bis J farm, not only without incumbrance, but with money at interest. Under his hands it waxes fat and flourish ing, and sends to market every year j its twelve or fifteen hundred dollars' worth of produce. But you over hear its owner telling his neighbor that "it's a Cain's business, this far ming : make any man cross enough to kill his brother !" You find this farmer racked with rheumatism, though in the prime of life—bent with the weight of years before his time. He has lost his health just as he has improved his farm, by work ing early an 4 late tlirouge sun and rain. * * * Everywhere you liad one song with variations. Far mers and farmers' wives are not in love with their calling. The "smart est" of the children do not remain at home to take charge of the farm, unless impelled by a seitse of duty to their aged parents, or lured by some promise of extraordinary recompense. Everywhere the farmer finds farming to be "a slave's life," "a dog's life," " delve all your days, and nothin' to show for't," " hard scrapin' to make both ends meet.', It is so unwield ly a mode of applying means to ends that, if you must believe him, every quart of milk costs him six cents, with the labor thrown in, while you j pay the milkman but five cents at ! your own door; every dozen eggs | which he gathers from his own barn ; lie gathers at the rate of twenty- j five cents a dozen, while you are pa y- ! ing only twenty-two. * And even when both ends do meet, and rot on- j ly meet, but lap over, you can .-caret j ly find a hearty cheerfulness and sun shiny a liberal praise and unfeigned ardor, acotagious delight in the soil. "Jolly boys" in purple blouses may drive plows around pitcher, but tin\ are rarely met witlion the hillsides of j New England. If we may credit Dr. Hjill. they are quite as rarely seen on the rich, rolling lands tow-ord the sunset. Is this state of things inevitable Farmers have a very general belief | that it is. They not only plod on in the old way themselves, but thev have no faith in the possible opeii ing-up of any other way. Their sole hope of bettering their conditions lies in abandoning it altogether. If one is superior to the other, if an on ly son concentrates upon himself all the parental affection, they do not plan for him a brilliant career in their own line ; they do not look to him to obtain distinction by some great agricultural achievement,'of discovery of new laws or a new combination of old laws; all their love and hopes find expression in the determination " not to bring him up to farming." They "don't mean that he shall ever have to work." Hard work and small profits, is the story of their lives and of the lives of their ances tors, and they do not believe any other story will ever be truly told of the genuine farmer. And when we say small profits, we wish the phrase to hold all the meaning of which it is capable. It is hard work and small profits to body and soul; small pro- 1 fits to heart and brain as well as purse. But every plan which looks 1 to better things is " notional" " new- ! fangled" " easier to tell of than't is ! . to doand so the farmer goes on his daily beat, with a shamefaced pride : in his independence fostered by the ' flattery of his county-fair orators, , yet vituperating Lis occupation, be- moaning its hardships, and deprecia ting its emoluments, stubbnornly set in the belief that he knows all there is to know about farming, and f»corn | ful of whatever attempt togo deep er than his own plowshare, or cut a broider swath than his owm scythe. To suggert the possibility that all this is the result of a limited knowl edge, and that the most favorable and i beneficial change might be found in a more liberal education and a wider I acquaintance with the facts descovcr ed and the deductions made by sci | cnce, conbl be considered by a bold yeomanry, ourcountry's pride, as an outbreak of " book farming" in its. | most virulent form. " You may bet | your hat in one thing" says the bold yeoman "a man ipay know sunthin,' j an' bo a good minister an' a tol'uble | deacon, but lie' spiled for fanuin'.". Two words are beginning to be coupled in the newspapers and to float i about in the air, whose juxtaposition is the cause of many .1 demure chuck le among the rural population—"Ag ricultural College." Seperately, the words command all respect; united, they are a living refutation of the | well-known axiom tlu:t " the whole is equal to all its parts." On the j contrary, so far are our farmer from ! believing this, that,' while they ac t knowledge each part to be a very se- I rious ntid important fact, they look 1 upon the whole as the flimsiest offal ; lacies. " Gov'ment is goin' to build an Ag ricultural College. Fannin' an' i learnin' marry an' set up house-keep j in.' (JuessUncle Sam 11 have to give | em a hist with a donation-party now in' then.

Soil's light an' runin' to stones. But this here College stuff's the poorest kind o'top dressin' agin learnin' but't a'n't the best use you can make on't to plow it in. The only way to promote , the agricultural interests of Essex coun ty, Sir, is to keep the farmers jest as they are. Greek'n' Lattin a'n't state prison offenses, but they re sure death to pork 'n' potaters. Miuute you edicate the farmers they 'll be as uneasy as a toad under a harrow. hat kind of a hand would Doctor Hall or Squire Smith make to come an' take a farm alongside o'me." This is the way our bold yeoman p u tst I Planting himself on the indisputable | facts of hi" pork and jHitatues. he regard., one who stands upon any other ground as a dreamer and visionary, lie forgets i that pork and potatoes are not the only | facts in the world. The earth itself is a ! larger fact than any thing that springs | from it. It is the iiuilieinjile inheritance, | the sole support of man. Mother and nur.-e from the cradle to the grave, tliore comes no hour when he can withdraw from her nourishing bosom, but by our farmers' showing, it is but a harsh and niggarldy step-mother, opening (lie foun tains of life • nly under enforcement. • Is i this reasonable? i* it rea-nimble to sup pose that the one calling which is essen tial to life, the one cubing on which ev ery other depends, should lie the Canaan aeeur-ed. servant of .-ervants to its breth ren '!

No college and no school can be founded so wisely aud farmers, as a class will send their sons to it. Why should they, believing, as they do, that the dis trict school already gives them as much " learnin' "as they need 1 lioys there can '• read, write and cipher." They gain knowledge enough to reckon with hiicd man, to keep the tally_ of the mark eting, to compute interest, and to do par ish business. Your college-men will ! talk about selections aud temperatures, silos and flourine; but what has that got to do with planting the ten-acre lot ? Timothy aud red-top grew before Leibig was born.

Compelled a year since to lncreaf-«j the price of Its several issues, or submit to the pecuniary ruin of its proprietorsfrom the very magnitude of its circulation,-It has probahly since parted with ee»e patrons to whom Its remarkable cheapness was a controlling recommenda tion; but others have tnkel* their place, and It low now more than Two Hundred Thousand subscribers mid regu lar purchasers—wnexeeswof at least Fifty Thousand over those of any rival.
